What have you eaten today? Part 3

[AwkwardSquad]

New thread for a new year!

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

Let’s include some recipe-sharing in this thread

Two fried egg sandwiches with Gouda cheese and soured cream. So 4 slices of white. That was lunch.

Another cheese sarny just now with cucumber.

Will have haddock spuds leaks and sour cream for dinner washed down with Stella later, then probably raid the chocolate supplies just before bed

Brunch was a cheese and onion toasty with another crust of bread, butter and cheese.
Snacks - 2 chocolate digestives, an apple and and orange
Dinner - jacket potato with prawns, mayonnaise and dill, steamed leeks and Brussel sprouts.
Lots of tea, coffee and a hot chocolate

B - croissant and coffee
L - sweet potato soup and a curried turkey baguette
D - burger with roast butternut squash chips and salad. Glass white wine

Hope you feel better soon, Rocky

B - usual muesli etc
L - chestnut roast with salad
D - spicy tuna and cannelini bean sauce with pasta
A biscuit, a pear, a Nakd bar and a pistachio macaroon

Roast butternut squash chips sound good, Geneva. Are they like wedges or are they more like fries, and if the latter, how do you make them? Do they not go soggy?

B- multigrain porridge with almond milk
S- mini gingerbread man
L- itsu katsu instant noodle pot
S- popchips, a plum
D- sweet potato and black bean burger, jacket potato, salad
S- will be a hot cross bun with butter, and a white chocolate oreo bar

@AwkwardSquad they’re just like wedges and I put olive oil and chilli flakes on them

Black coffee first thing

A cup of green tea around 11

A small bit of cheddar and some sliced onion at 1.30, followed by a very low carb snack bar

A prawn stir fry with some chilli, ginger and spring onion in a sauce for dinner. (No rice)

2 glasses of sugar free squash

That’s me done for the day now apart from water.

Espresso with milk
Half a piece cinnamon raisin toast with peanut butter (DD decided we were sharing)
One fresh date
1/2 a gluten free sloppy Giuseppe pizza
A few bites of broccoli and sweet potato in peanut sauce
Rocket, beetroot, stilton, walnut salad
Will have a glass of red wine with three Paul A Young special edition chocolates after I finish washing up

B: Greek yogurt with raspberries, blueberries and handful of muesli, tea
L: spicy butternut squash soup, 2 crackers with cheese & chutney, pistachios
S: coffee and slice of toast with marmalade
D: waffles, fried egg, beans and the most delicious bacon from my butchers

Currently having another cup of tea and will have some dark chocolate soon as Ive been craving some all day

B - peanut butter on seeded toast
L - vegetable soup, ryvitas with slices of halloumi and cherry tomatoes.
D - tagliatelle with a quorn Bolognase sauce made with loads of veg, grated cheddar.
S - grapes, banana, wispa bites chocolates (too many )

Toast and spread
Chips from the canteen
Jamaican black eyed pea curry with rice

Ran 4 miles (recovery day after 17 miles in that fucking storm yesterday) and light upper body strength exercises

weird day. I had coffee and then pretty much nothing ... until now when I am about to have steak, chips, blue cheese sauce, fried pickles and ancho dressing!

@lastqueenofscotland recovery day after 17 miles in that fucking storm yesterday

Bloody hell, out running in the storm! Did you at least have a tailwind to speed you up, like that transatlantic jet?

@pallisers that’s one hell of a midnight snack, I’m impressed! Unless of course you’re somewhere with a time difference and you were actually having it at a normal dinner time. I prefer to think of you eating a full steak dinner your pjs by candlelight, in the depth of the night, though. It’s more literary, somehow

@AwkwardSquad I did for the first 10 miles then the headwind from hell all the way home

Thanks @AwkwardSquad keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse so I have to go to the docs for antibiotics - dragging a 2yo there is no fun at all!

I had the usual oats etc today and sausage casserole for lunch. Will be making spaghetti bolognese for dinner which I'll eat after bootcamp tonight (am forcing myself to go as it's the one session I can definitely get to as DMIL will be here to look after DS before DH gets home from work - the other sessions are a bit hit and miss depending when he gets home)

I'm in a different time zone Awkward :) But I was in my pjs!

I was a sometime contributor to the previous 2 threads and would like to jump back in as I've fallen spectacularly off the wagon over Christmas and through January so need to be a bit mindful, and hopefully get a few new ideas too as we've got into a bit of a menu rut.
Today:
B: Muesli with orange juice and Greek yoghurt
Snack - banana
L: tomato and lentil soup
Snack - almonds and raisins
D: will be prawn and pea risotto.

Black coffee first thing.

Breakfast: 2 Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon but no muffins. More coffee.

Lunch: A couple of cubes of feta, about 5 or 6 walnuts and hazelnuts, a small tomato, 3 olives.

Afternoon snack: A very low carb snack bar and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter.

Dinner (early) Some chargrilled chicken with some grilled onion, tomato and chopped parsley, with a dollop of baba ganoush and some Iranian pickles.

A cup of herbal tea
2 glasses of sugar free squash

No wine for me for the last four evenings. I'm trying to knock the weeknight wine on the head.

Fruit and fibre for breakfast
Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch with an apple, a banana and a mini choc bar
Having tacos for dinner

Hi mamaduckbone 👋🏽 I want to make some new recipes too. I think I’ll go back to an old favourite this weekend that I haven’t made for ages but do a new side dish to go with it. Coconut chana saag with Pondicherry toast, both from the Guardian.

lastqueenofscotland the tailwind probably didn’t make up for the headwind... but at least you must have earned an ENORMOUS dinner after that!

Rocky bootcamp!? Kill or cure?

Pallisers pjs are always suitable dinner attire, in my book. Well, when one is at home, at least.

Today’s meals:
B - usual with an extra kiwi (vitamin C, innit)
An oatcake
L - cottage cheese salad (Longley Farm, of course), a pear and some grapes
Three cheese straws
D - chestnut roast, braised cabbage, beetroot and salad; two pistachio macaroons

A chunk of red leicester and crackers for breakfast and lunch. Cups of nescafe coffee. May go fancy for tea and have rice and curry with tap water.

B - pain au choc and a pot of mango
L - Swiss chard soup and a roast chicken sarnie
S - too much chocolate
D - cheese, crackers, fig jam, dried fruit and nuts, cherry tomatoes, 1/2 an avocado. Glass white wine

2 weetabix with milk
A banana mid morning
Ham/lettuce and chutney sandwich, pot of yoghurt and chopped apple for lunch
I’ve just had griddled chicken thigh wrapped in bacon, homemade wedges and salad for dinner.
I am making my 4th mug of tea of the day and will have a Wispa Gold for pudding.
